(...) Oops:-/ Hey, Paul- Been away from LUGNET for a while and missed your post. It would have been nice to meet up, although it wouldn't have worked out on Wednesday for me anyway-- I had a gig already. Next time, though!

(...) Cool, but I did you ever tell us about this one (which shares a gallery with your concertina wagon)?
